XSL Fixed text output

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I have a scenario where from the XML, I need to get some fixed text output. Say I have the following XML, the text output should be like
Name1 00000 3456700000
The scenario here is - Say the first element should start at position 1 and end at position 10, if the text is only say 5 characters, the rest of the place should be blank, I never know what will be the size of the text(in this case say Name1) then the next
5 character positions should be zeros 00000 then say another field will come which is numeric, and can occupy 10 characters, but if the value is positive and it is only 3 digits, I will append it with zeros for the remaining 7 positions; but if it is negative,
I need to add the zeros prior to the text i.e., the first 7 digits will be zeros.
These are the basic rules, if you could advice me on how to take it in the XSL, it will be great, thanks.
